ADC claims breakthrough in dynamic
performance
A new 13bit, 210Msample/s ADC boasts 68dB signal-to-noise ratio and 79dB spurious-free dynamic range at the maximum sample rate and an input frequency of 230MHz.
Texas Instruments has developed a 13bit, 210Msample/s analogue-to-digital convertor (ADC) featuring 68dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 79dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at the maximum sample rate and an input frequency of 230MHz This breakthrough dynamic performance achieved by the new ADS5440 enables improved receiver performance in a multitude of applications including software defined radios, basestation power amplifier linearisation systems, as well as test and measurement systems

Data buffer has dual multiplexer
Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first 0- to 4-Gbps data buffer/signal conditioner with a dual multiplexer.
Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
"The ADS5440 leverages TI's unique, high-speed BiCom-III complementary bipolar SiGe process to deliver the highest SNR and SFDR performance at high input frequencies", said Roberto Sadkowski, Business Unit Manager for TI's high-speed ADCs.
The ADS5440 operates from a 5V supply, while providing LVDS-compatible digital outputs from a 3.3V supply.
In addition, an internal reference and input buffer simplifies system design requirements.
The device is specified over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85C.
The ADS5440 is optimised to work with TI's high-performance TMS320C6x DSP platform and a range of high-speed amplifiers and digital-to-analogue convertors, such as the THS4509 fully differential amplifier and DAC5687 16bit, 500Msample/s DAC, to provide a truly state-of-the-art signal chain for wideband applications.
The ADS5440 is sampling now, with volume production scheduled for Q4 2005.
The device comes in an 80-pin TQFP PowerPad package and is priced at $65.00 in 1000-piece quantities (suggested resale pricing).
Evaluation modules (EVMs) are also available.
